Judgment
— I Ching · classical
小事吉。
Opposition. In small matters, good fortune.
Image
— Great Image
上火下泽，睽，君子以同而异。
Above, fire; below, the lake: the image of opposition. Thus, amid all fellowship, the superior person retains their individuality.
Six Lines
— Bottom to top
Initial Nine · 初九
⚊ yang
悔亡。丧马勿逐，自复。见恶人，无咎。
Remorse disappears. If you lose your horse, do not run after it; it will come back of its own accord. When you see evil people, guard yourself against mistakes.
Lost horse returns by itself — do not chase. Even with adversaries, maintain civil contact for safety. No regret.
Nine in the second · 九二
⚊ yang
遇主于巷，无咎。
One meets one's lord in a narrow street. No blame.
Unexpected reunion with the right counterpart in unlikely circumstances; no fault.
Six in the third · 六三
⚋ yin
见舆曳，其牛掣，其人天且劓，无初有终。
One sees the wagon dragged back, the oxen halted, a person's hair and nose cut off. Not a good beginning, but a good end.
Painfully misunderstood at the start (wagon dragged, ox stuck, man disfigured), but the story ends well.
Nine in the fourth · 九四
⚊ yang
睽孤，遇元夫，交孚，厉无咎。
Isolated through opposition, one meets a like-minded person with whom one can associate in good faith. Despite the danger, no blame.
In estrangement, finds a peer (yuan fu); good-faith bond formed across the gap. Danger, but blameless.
Six in the fifth · 六五
⚋ yin
悔亡，厥宗噬肤，往何咎。
Remorse disappears. The companion bites his way through the wrappings. If one goes to him, how could it be a mistake?
Regret vanishes; kin breaks through wrapping like teeth through skin — reconciliation.
Nine at the top · 上九
⚊ yang
睽孤，见豕负涂，载鬼一车，先张之弧，后说之弧，匪寇婚媾，往遇雨则吉。
Isolated through opposition, one sees one's companion as a pig covered with dirt, as a wagon full of ghosts. First one draws a bow against him; then one lays the bow aside. He is not a robber; he will woo at the right time. As one goes, rain falls; then good fortune comes.
Paranoid hallucinations at the extreme of estrangement (sees friend as filthy pig, as cart of demons). Bow drawn, then released. Reality-testing dissolves the delusion; rain falls, fortune comes.
Modern Readings
— Interdisciplinary
Career & Management
Inter-departmental hostility, partner-vision divergence, drift in market positioning. Do not force unification of thought; use 'same in great things, different in small' — find collaboration in narrow projects first.
Psychology & Cognition
Allow dissent; do not collapse into persecution thinking. Frequent fact-alignment defuses the 'cart of ghosts' illusion produced by information asymmetry.
Decision Guidance
In small matters, fortune. Hold individuality within fellowship. Break the projection with factual reality-checks (the rain falls, fortune comes).
Western Parallels
— Cross-cultural
Carl Jung on shadow projection; the Rashomon problem of conflicting narratives; Karpman drama triangle; Bohmian dialogue (David Bohm's structured suspension of assumptions to dissolve misunderstanding); cognitive-behavioral 'reality testing'.
